"I had no expectations of this. I am extremely surprised and I'm honoured to be included," a "flabbergasted" Hinton said in a University of Toronto news release.
Hinton, often called "The Godfather of AI," told The New York Times last year that "a part of him ... now regrets his life's work" due to the potential risks of AI.
By mimicking the way our brains make connections, neural networks allow AI tools to essentially "learn by example," enabling breakthroughs in language generation and image recognition.
"It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things," Hinton stated, emphasizing his concerns over AI misuse.
